Yes I could see perhaps the "apple of their eye" in a situation rebuffing them. This would make more sense. Seriously, even women who pursued a career over marrying and having children are still a hot commodity if they're attractive. No one that I ever dated ever asked how many people I had slept with, but I didn't sleep with the majority of people I dated so perhaps that's why. This idea that women ride the cock carousel is only among low self esteem, low IQ, low quality women. A woman who is a powerhouse at work got there because she's responsible and low risk taking, not because she sleeps her way around. They usually put in a lot of hours and really do sacrifice any chance with any relationships. I'm not talking about one that got management then fucked up and lost the job. The picture painted of women here is delusional. The majority of people suck. Both men and women. The majority of people you will date will suck. Both for men and women. If you are dumb enough to knock a woman up before testing the waters with knowing her morals, values, and family, you're 9/10x going to get screwed. If you're dumb enough to marry someone without knowing their morals and values and family, you're going to get screwed. Reality: society, family, and peer pressure ill equipped the vast majority of us for assessing value of a mate before we got screwed. This is not women's fault. It's not men's fault. It's not even really your parent's fault. I can not see how one generation would've understood the things the next would be facing. Could you have predicted the last few years? So the soap box message I'm apparently delivering is: life isn't fair, it isn't meant to be easy, the hard things make you either a better person through wisdom or an asshole who blames everyone else for your bad decisions. Which are you? (Not directed at you, tasteless. I've had a glass of wine after a very long day)
